Chapter 15: Clues

Lan Kaisi's words made the friends think: Indeed, according to Lan Kaisi, it doesn't make sense to look at Ryuta Jingzawa as a suspect in the kidnapping case, several people recalled the brief contact with the kidnappers in the activity center, and remembered that the kidnappers' courage and Ryuta Jingzawa are not very similar to people of the same class, will there be any inside story in this?

Jiang Jingtong turned the pen in his hand, pointed to Ai Pingping's autopsy report, and said: "There is no damage to the skin, scars and surgical incisions, the wrist is bruised under the skin of the buttocks, and the corpse has no traumatic fractures," Jiang Jingtong raised his eyes to look at everyone: "Her body was soaked in the river water, and the sperm spots in her body were polluted by the river water, and the police did not find any useful clues from her body to lock the suspect." Saying that, he put down the autopsy report and continued: "The suspect in the kidnapping case, Ryuta Kagezawa, is not only dead but also has huge doubts about the motive, and the murderer in Rena's case has not left a trace, and the police still can't lock up the suspect, but the three cases have one thing in common is that they are all related to Harumi Toyama. ”

Ouyang Le frowned: "Is it far-fetched to think like this, we are all in school, and we are more or less connected, for example, if you push carefully, you, me and Lang Fei are also the common contact points of these three cases, first, you saved Ai Pingping, and the three of us met her that night; second, when the kidnapping case happened, we escaped together and had a contact point with the kidnapping case, and third, Renai is Lang Fei's girlfriend, we all know her, so the three of us are all connected to these three cases!"

Lang Fei felt that Ouyang Le was also reasonable.

Jiang Jingtong shook his head and said, "We only know the victims, but Harumi Toyama is the one who has close ties with them. ”

Wren and Lan Keyes didn't understand a little: "What does Jiang Jingtong mean that he saved Ai Pingping?"

Yes, these two are not members of the Chinese Three Musketeers, and they don't know the situation on the night of the ball, so Jiang Jingtong popularized the science for the two friends about what happened at the dance on the night Ai Pingping was killed, and then expressed strong condemnation to Lan Kaisi, the boss of the "Evil Young Gang", thinking that the evil young gang's actions were too nonsense.

Lan Keith was full of black lines and was very aggrieved: "That's a joke that goes too far, it's not a great crime!"

Jiang Jingtong: "That's bullying!"

Lan Caiss: "Drinking too much, forgiving!"

Jiang Jingtong: "It's a crime to drink too much and kill people!"

Lan Caiss: "You're a beauty, you're justified!"

This time it was Jiang Jingtong's turn to have black lines on his head, he pushed his glasses and decided, whoever said that he was a beauty, he would beat him!

Wren looked at Lan Keith and Jiang Jingtong back and forth without speaking, but his expression was a little unpredictable.

Lang Fei didn't care about this, he just wanted to find out who killed Lianai: "The murderer has a motive for killing, Ai Pingping died of rape, but Lian Nai was strangled to death, the cause of death of the two is different, but the place where the body was thrown is the same, so the person who killed Ai Pingping and Lianai is likely to be the same person." ”

Jiang Jingtong came back to his senses from wanting to use violence against Lan Kaisi, and instinctively retorted: "When Ai Pingping was discovered, photos broke out in the school forum, and many people knew that Ai Pingping died naked in the river, so the possibility of others imitating the crime cannot be ruled out." ”

Ouyang Le is more concerned about the kidnapping case, if Ryuta Jing Ze is not the one who colluded with the kidnappers, then there are still people in the school who colluded with the kidnappers, and it was that person who indirectly killed Karina, and he was angry about this:" There is also a kidnapping case, the police found out so much evidence pointing to Ryuta Kizawa, but Lan Keyes's analysis is also very reasonable, not to mention that Ryuta Kizawa is the victim of the kidnapping case, which can be explained as being killed by the kidnappers, but it may also be that the real murderer colluded with the kidnappers to blame him, assuming that Ryuta Kagezawa was framed, and the people who could access his mobile phone, computer, and other items and knew his mailbox must be people who were extremely close to him, then Harumi Toyama was the most suspicious!"

Lan Kaisi looked at Ouyang Le: "Another point, when we escaped from the activity center, Harumi Toyama, Rena Shimizu and Miranda were tied up on the rooftop, but the kidnappers did not kill them, but took the hostages from downstairs to the rooftop and shot them. ”

Lang Fei looked at Lan Kaisi with a sharp look in his eyes: "What do you want to say?"

Lan Kaisi looked back at Lang Fei, his eyes calm: "Whether there is Ren Nai or not is also related to the kidnapping case, is it possible that he will be killed because of the kidnapping case?"

I'll go, my friends are in their hearts - there is really such a possibility.

Because the Chinese Three Musketeers are more familiar with Rena Shimizu, while Ren and Ouyang Le are roommates, and their emotional tendencies are also obvious, so the four friends only regard Rena Shimizu as the victim, but Lan Kaisi is not familiar with Rena, and the perspective he provides is more objective, and there is a huge possibility.

Lang Fei took a deep breath and shook his head resolutely: "No, Rena is not such a girl!"

Lan Keith looked at him: "I'm just offering a conjecture. ”

Ouyang Le didn't know what to say, if Rena was the one who was in contact with the kidnappers, it was she who indirectly killed Karina, so how would he and Lang Fei face each other?

The air in the room froze suddenly.

Jiang Jingtong first pushed his eyes with his hand, and then knocked on the table and said: "These are all inferences and speculations, there is no evidence to support them at all, we want to find out the truth, not rely on inference to determine who is guilty and who is not guilty!"

Lan Kaisi felt at a loss where to start, and pointed to the file full of tables with his hand and said: "How to investigate? Now Ai Pingping's case and Shimizu Rena's case, there are no useful clues in the police files, they haven't even identified the suspect, the kidnapping case The police locked the person who colluded with the kidnappers in the school is Jing Ze Longta, but Jing Ze Ryuta is dead, where do we start to investigate?"

Jiang Jingtong pushed his glasses with his hand again and said firmly: "Start with Toyama Harumi, Ai Pingping is her roommate, Rena is her friend, and Ryuta Kizawa is her boyfriend, it is impossible for Toyama Harumi not to know anything." Jiang Jingtong recalled for a while before pointing to one of the files and looking at Ouyang Le and said: "You said before that the police said that Ai Pingping's roommate and her boyfriend on the night of the crime proved that Ai Pingping left the dance party at ten o'clock, and this record is also recorded in this way, but the admission record is Jing Ze Ryuta and Toyama Harumi, but now Ai Pingping is dead, Jing Ze Ryuta is also dead, Toyama Harumi is the only one who knows when Ai Pingping left the prom venue that night, so if we want to find clues, we must start with Toyama Harumi." ”

Ouyang Le thought for a moment, and he agreed with Jiang Jingtong's inference: "I also feel that Harumi Toyama should know something!"

Lang Fei scratched his hair irritably: "If there is a hidden truth in Ai Pingping's case, it means that Harumi Toyama is lying, but how can we make Harumi Toyama tell the truth? Can't we answer her as soon as we ask?"

The air froze again, and the five friends fell into thinking again, until the butler brought afternoon tea and snacks.

Lan Keith came back to his senses and motioned for everyone to drink tea, eat snacks, and relax, and the friends also felt that they really needed to relax their brains.

There was a refreshment in front of each little friend, and the white tea cup was a red liquid.

Over there, Lan Keith scooped up a little maple sugar with a thin spoon and poured it into the tea, stirring gently, the aroma of maple sugar slowly spread with the warm aroma of tea, attracting people's index fingers, Lan Keith picked up a small snack and ate it.

The friends fell into a deadlock in their thinking and couldn't find a way for the time being, so they also followed Lan Kaisi to eat refreshments.

Because everyone was still thinking, no one spoke.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Wren proposed, "Should we find a girl to approach Harumi Toyama?"

The little ones watched him together.

Lang Fei: "Where to find girls?"

Ouyang Le: "How do you get close to Harumi Toyama?"

Jiang Jingtong: "Will it be dangerous?"

Lan Caiss: "It's easier for girls to communicate with each other!"

Wren didn't answer the words of the other friends, but looked at Lan Keith: "What do you think of Miranda?"

Lancaith: ......

The three Chinese musketeers all turned their heads to look at Lan Keith.

Lan Cais: "She was tied up on the top floor with Harumi Toyama and Rena Shimizu that day, how can you be sure that she is not a suspect in the case?"

Wren: "You can reach out. ”

Lancaith: ......

Jiang Jingtong: "Miranda was very interested in you that day, you can try to contact her, and you are likely to find clues, aren't the British the most gentlemanly, and finding out the murderer is also a gentleman's behavior, Sherlock Holmes is British, and it is the nature of the British to investigate the case, we believe in you!"

Lancaith: ......

Ouyang Le: "Jing Ze Longtai is a member of your brotherhood, don't you want to find out if he is colluding with the kidnappers, don't you want to know if he was framed?"

Lancaith: ......

Lang Fei: "For the truth, for justice, for the sake of catching the murderer, for your brother Ryuta Kizawa, for Karina, who died in the kidnapping, for Rena Shimizu, please!"

Lancaith: ......

At this time, the young master Lan Caisi wanted to slap himself out - telling you to meddle in your business for a man!

β€”β€”

That night, the friends stayed at Lancais's house - everyone needed to look at the files, transcripts, autopsy reports, and discuss how to get Lancaith to contact Miranda.

After dinner, Lan Keith led his friends to his garden to eat.

Lang Fei and Ouyang Le discussed the case togetherβ€”both girlfriends were killed, and they couldn't relaxβ€”the case file and some autopsy photos made the two of them feel a lot of irritation, and they were very concerned about the details of the case.

Jiang Jingtong was pulled by Lan Kaisi to speak.

Lan Kaisi looked at Jiang Jingtong's delicate face, even if he wore glasses to hide his handsomeness, he was still a very beautiful oriental beauty.

Lan Caith asked lazily but with puzzlement in his tone, "I've asked you many times before, why didn't you come back to the appointment?"

Jiang Jingtong replied as a matter of course: "I didn't know you well at that time. ”

Not familiar? is indeed a good reason, Lan Caith smiled, and stroked the beautifully trimmed flowers with his slender fingers, "Then do you know what the Ernest family means?"

Jiang Jingtong raised the corners of his mouth: "Wealth, power, privilege!"

Lan Kaisi looked back at Jiang Jingtong: "Then do you know that I have a crush on you, what can you get from it?"

Jiang Jingtong pushed his glasses with his fingers and said calmly: "I know." ”

Lan Keith was curious: "Then why don't you accept my closeness? Being friends with me, I can provide you with good resources, wealth, social status, and so on." ”

Jiang Jingtong felt that Lan Kaisi must have felt that everyone approached him for a purpose, and he asked with a smile: "Lan Kaisi, what do you think I came to study in the UK for?"

Lankees replied without hesitation: "Get a good education in England." ”

Jiang Jingtong shook his head.

Lan Keyes wondered: "Green card? permanent residency?"

Jiang Jingtong shook his head.

Lan Keith was curious: "Then why?"

The corners of Jiang Jingtong's mouth raised slightly with confidence: "I am Chinese, my family is in China, my family runs a law firm in China, after China's accession to the WTO, trade frictions have continued, economic lawsuits, and foreign trade frictions have emerged one after another, and I came to the UK to study because I want to represent Chinese enterprises in court when there are trade disputes between Chinese enterprises and enterprises of WTO member countries! My motherland has a long history, a broad and profound culture, and is developing with each passing day, as long as we work hard in our country, we will have a good life, and I came to study in the UK to serve my motherland!"

Lan Keyes scoffed: "Then there is no gap between the rich and the poor, no distinction between the rich and the poor, no privileged class in your motherland?"

Jiang Jingtong smiled proudly: "There are all kinds of countries, but in our country, everyone is equal, unlike you in England, where there are nobles and commoners!"

Lankees disagreed, but did not refute it, but raised the question that he had been wondering all along: "Are you unable to accept me because I am a privileged class?"

Jiang Jingtong shook his head: "No, I don't want to accept you because you are the lord of the Ernest family!"

Lan Kaisi was surprised, the lord was a symbol of his status, that was his pride, why would Jiang Jingtong reject him because of this?

Lan Caith's face was filled with "Why?"

Jiang Jingtong looked at Lan Kaisi, Lan Kaisi was tall, slender, straight, lazily exuding a typical noble son's atmosphere, even if the gender was male, it was still very attractive, but these were not enough to make Jiang Jingtong tempted: "Lan Kaisi, will you get married and have children in the future?"

Lan Kaisi seemed to suddenly understand what Jiang Jingtong meant, he really wanted to say no to Jiang Jingtong, but as the lord, he needed to provide the family with an heir with the blood of the Ernest family, so he would get married and have children sooner or later, that was his responsibility and obligation, his love would have nothing to do with marriage, and he couldn't say no against his will!

Jiang Jingtong looked at Lan Kaisi's eyes deeply, and he didn't need to open his mouth to answer for Lan Kaisi: "For the sake of your family, you will marry a woman and have children, you just have a good impression of me, even if it is love, your love for me will not be the only love, not the only love, I don't want it!"

Lan Caisi's blue eyes were like a deep pool of water: "Do you want my love?"

Jiang Jingtong shook his head: "It will be very hard to love you, and your love is to serve your identity, status and family, so I hope you are my friend, not my lover!"

Lan Keyes looked back at Jiang Jingtong, only to see his handsome face hidden under rimless glasses, his expression was focused and determined, Lan Keyes suddenly understood that he first saw the video of Jiang Jingtong doing a talent show on the campus forum, and the heartbeat at that moment was like now, Jiang Jingtong is confident, calm, elegant and wise - there is a unique beauty of Oriental people, subtle, not dazzling, but amazingly beautiful.

Lan Kaisi looked at Jiang Jingtong for a long time and said, "I'll go and ask the housekeeper to arrange a place for you to live." "Said a little lonely and left!

At this time, Wren turned out from behind the pillars and looked at Jiang Jingtong with a smile: "You are here to study on behalf of your country?

Jiang Jingtong didn't answer, but asked Wren with a smile: "I think it's strange, your father is an American, your mother is Italian, why did you come to England to study?"

Rennes black line, Jiang Jingtong is not answering the rhetorical question.

Jiang Jingtong smiled and said, "Needless to say, if there is anything unspeakable!"

Wren struggled for a moment before he confessed: "Because of the matter of studying, my father and mother argued, my father wanted me to study in the United States, and my mother thought that I should receive an Italian education, so they quarreled, and I came to England to study by myself in anger, so that they don't have to fight about my study!"

This reason - Jiang Jingtong was convinced - I didn't expect that Rennes, who looked serious and unsmiling, was also a sick bear child in one middle school and two diseases!

Wren changed the topic and asked Jiang Jingtong: "Are you really not tempted by Lan Keith?"

Jiang Jingtong felt funny: "Why should I be tempted by him?"

Wren raised an eyebrow, looking like you know.

Jiang Jingtong's eyes behind his glasses flickered slightly: "If Lan Keith was a girl, I would still consider it, but he is a man, and we Chinese are not so tolerant of same-sex love." Besides, I'm really not GAY. ”

Wren: "If you like a man, you're gay?"

Jiang Jingtong: "What is it that likes men and isn't GAY?"

Wren: "It's just that the person I like is the same gender!"

Jiang Jingtong shook his head: "I haven't thought about this yet, I'll remember to tell you when I figure it out!"

Rennes:......

Jiang Jingtong asked curiously: "Rennes, why are you willing to investigate the case with us, is it just because we escaped from the activity center together?"

Wren's eyes flashed: "I have been studying in the UK for more than a year, I don't have any friends, and I once thought that I didn't need friends, but when we encountered danger in the activity center, I realized how important friends are, a person may be very good, may be outstanding, may stand at the top of a certain field, but our world is a pluralistic world, I can't control all resources, and I can't be proficient in all fields, so I want to work with people, I want to have friends, and I want to learn to work as a team." ”

Jiang Jingtong smiled: "In our China, this is called casual, anytime, and trendy!"

Wren looked at Jiang Jingtong with shining eyes: "It seems that you have a lot of philosophical ideas in China. ”

Jiang Jingtong shook his head: "That's not a philosophical thought, it's a Zen thought, which is a bit similar to the religious beliefs of you Europeans and Americans." ”

Wren: "Then can your Zen thoughts explain why Ai Pingping and Shimizu Rena were killed?"

Jiang Jingtong thought for a while before saying: "The Buddha said that everything has a cause and effect, and there must be a reason for their murder, but we see the effect now, but we don't see the cause." ”

Wren: Mosquito coil eyes - I don't understand, what cause and what effect?BeacuesandConsequence?

Why does Jiang Jingtong speak English, but Wren just feels that he can't understand it?

Jiang Jingtong smiled: "Don't just look for answers, the process of finding answers is harvest, follow the result, and you will find the reason......"

β€”β€”

That night, the four friends stayed at Lankes's house.

The housekeeper sent comfortable and soft pajamas, took the clothes of the friends to dry cleaning, and promised to deliver them tomorrow morning.

The friends also enjoyed the feeling of sleeping in the castle at Lancais's house with peace of mind.
